Slowing Down Time

Jan 1, 2024

Happy New Year!

I thought it would be appropriate to center this first edition of THE THURSDAY RESET for 2024 around the intriguing theme of time.

Have you ever noticed that time seems to slip away with each passing year? I often wonder if it’s a result of having more years behind than ahead or some other mysterious force at play.

Anyway, today’s article speaks to the issue of “time awareness”, why it varies from individual to individual, and how you might “slow it down”.

I hope it gets you thinking!

Today’s Theme: Time Awareness

– David Khalil

“Time is the most valuable thing on earth: time to think, time to act, time to extend our fraternal relations, time to become better men, time to become better women, time to become better and more independent citizens”

– Samuel Gompers
